Topic on Wikidata talk:Flow tests

@Lydia Pintscher (WMDE):

What about item insertion ? ;)

List of placeholder names by language#German (Q1354453)

adding templates is painful:

There's an "edit wikitext" button that lets you add templates normally.

Yes, ut the notifications are nice

What about Quoting ?

Q5 Un lien !

OK, we can insert an item by inserting a link, but the label by default is the Q number.

Am I missing something or is there not actually a preview function for this thing?

yes you are, you can switch from/to the visual editor by clicking on the bottom left icon. This should render the templates.

bottom right?

@TomT0m: thanks, haven't seen that too. Now, Flow is already much better if you can leave VisualEditor.

Oh... it seems I'm not *supposed* to try and use wiki markup here by default... I guess I'm too old school for this :P

It'd be nice if it were clearer which button is focused when tabbing, I keep overdoing it and almost cancelling instead of submitting 'cause it's so subtle.
